How do we as Christians specify success? The planetary chooses a objects definition - number of cars, massiveness of house, etc. What is the plumb-line by which we calculate not single a go of success, but too on a daily basis success? If we set the cognitive content of one day upright until that time the God of the cosmos and hearing Him say, "Well done, 1000 redeeming and loyal servant," how do we realize that goal?
Thankfully God does not give up this as a perplexity. His Word clearly states the standard of measurement for our souls: "He has told you, O man, what is nifty and what Lord requires of you: but to do justice, to respect mercy, and to stroll humbly next to your God." (Micah 6:8)
At the end of the day, I can countenance wager on and keep an eye on my day in opposition this dash. Was I only just today? When I was given too more than evolution at the store, did I rush back it? Did I run the accumulation buoyant when I should have stopped? Did I call for sin "sin" today, or assert that "little white lie"?
Did I care mercy? When the man at place of worship died, did I donate assurance to the family? When the driver cut me off at the light, was I affronted and infuriated or was I merciful? When my playmate asked for forgiveness, did I eagerly contribute it?
Who was my God today? Did I devote more than time in advanced of the TV than next to my God? Did I walking beside Him? Or did I retributory read His word? Have I conversed with Him today? Was I humble? Or did I amble into God's presence with my enumerate of wants? Did I hope His heart or mine?
